I stated a generalization based on reading widely for over a year. There isn't really one source or even a few, it's from many of varying quality and biases, including the UA MoD, the RF MoD, US gov, independent journalists on the ground, interviews with civilians, interviews with soldiers, military analysts (usually German and Austrian), and reading between the lines when, e.g., von der Leyen makes an oopsie about casualty numbers.

I might be inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but where I to read your comment with the same critical eye as you observed op's source with, you are just saying 'just trust me, bro'.

What might be clear to you, due to all your reading, might not be as obvious to the regular reader. Here's where it helps to link to a source, as that increases credulity.

This is great and all, but do you really think it's feasible to spam a link wall with every response? I've seen people try it on reddit, it usually doesn't work anyway.

For the record, I hold an opinion similar to @TheOubliette@lemmy.ml
